Carville Calls Graham's 30-Year Career Duplicity as Reactions Follow Senator's Death at 71

Summary
James Carville said Lindsey Graham's political career was "mostly defined by duplicity," while adding he took no joy in the senator's death and found him personally "personable."
Carville tied that judgment to Graham's role as one of the most aggressive managers in Bill Clinton's impeachment, a fight that directly involved Carville's former boss.
Graham, 71, died Saturday night from an aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease, shocking Washington because he remained one of the Senate's most active members and had been booked for NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday.
The death has prompted broader reassessments of Graham's 30-plus years in politics, with Al Hunt describing him as witty and influential on Ukraine but criticizing his later alignment with Donald Trump and his positions on Iran and Israel.
